Which feels closest to a backflip on skis?

Going skiing for the first time in a year pretty soon, and gointo backflip for the first time since summer 2016. Its got me thinking - what would you guys say feels the closest to a backflip on skis?

Like when I first learned to backflip on ski, it felt like I'd already done it a million times before, probably because I'd been backflipping off slides and stuff. Doing them off a slackline feels pretty close to me in that you feel your body swinging around your center of mass.

Trampoline, but the moving ground underneath you is interesting your first time around. Tossed my first flip this year on a jump with a little ice on the landing. Confidence by ignoring consequence is the name of the game. Peer pressure helps too.
